The second seminar on Critical Psychology will address the forms of colonization in mental health in the post-covid era.

We explore questions such as:
What is colonization and what does it have to do with mental health?
What are the current manifestations of colonial thinking in mental health in the post-covid era?
How has mainstream Psychology been shaped by colonialism and how can we identify and challenge the Western White gaze as the "standard" way of understanding human suffering?
How can Critical Psychology help us envision a decolonized system that is inclusive and respectful of people's mental health?

These events on Critical Psychology are a monthly feature for our community.
